Observing biodiversity

One of the most engaging ways to observe biodiversity is by closely studying the variety of insects and plant life around us. Collecting naturally dead insects and mounting them allows us to examine their intricate body structures, adaptations, and roles in the ecosystem. Similarly, creating a dry herbarium by pressing and preserving leaves helps us compare plant species, understand their forms, and appreciate the diversity of flora in our surroundings. These simple activities transform everyday encounters with nature into lasting records for learning and exploration.
